From June 19 to 29, 2025, the 13th arrondissement of Paris will vibrate to the rhythm of Treize'Estival, a free multidisciplinary festival that will take over the parks, squares, streets and cultural facilities of the district. Conceived as a collective, festive celebration, the event will bring together local artistic companies and participatory projects, mixing dance, theater, concerts, street arts, circus and open-air cinema.

The festival kicks off with the now-ubiquitous Grand Banquet du 13e, under the viaduct of line 6, where world cuisine, a Balkan brass band and performances give a foretaste of the program. The following day, the Parc de Choisy becomes one of the festival's epicenters, hosting Origami, an acrobatic solo around a metal container by Satchie Noro, and Impact d'une course, an impressive vertical performance by La Horde dans les Pavés.
Over the course of the days, there'll be a whole host of events: intimate readings at the Bar à Lectures, a ciné-concert with the Pathé Foundation, shows for young audiences such as L'Arbre Roux and L'Ogresse en pleurs, as well as workshops, guided tours, street art with Spot 13 and Creole dances with the Difé Kako company. Theater and sport will even meet on a basketball court with 24 secondes, a show put on by the Chahuts company at the gymnasium Charcot.
In Paris, comedy and theater festivals abound all year round. Open-air or indoor, these friendly events highlight the French comedy and theater scene, in a festive atmosphere accessible to all. [Read more]
On June 29, the festival closes with "Faites la Place!", a day of convivial performances and entertainment in the Place d'Italie, as part of the Festival des Places in partnership with the Théâtre de la Ville. Treize'Estival 2025 promises a joyful and committed immersion in the living arts, celebrating diversity and creativity under the open sky, close to the people.
